class_docstr: State space representation of a time series process, with Kalman filter
  and smoother.
  
  Parameters
  ----------
  k_endog : {array_like, int}
      The observed time-series process :math:`y` if array like or the
      number of variables in the process if an integer.
  k_states : int
      The dimension of the unobserved state process.
  k_posdef : int, optional
      The dimension of a guaranteed positive definite covariance matrix
      describing the shocks in the measurement equation. Must be less than
      or equal to `k_states`. Default is `k_states`.
  results_class : class, optional
      Default results class to use to save filtering output. Default is
      `SmootherResults`. If specified, class must extend from
      `SmootherResults`.
  **kwargs
      Keyword arguments may be used to provide default values for state space
      matrices, for Kalman filtering options, or for Kalman smoothing
      options. See `Representation` for more details.
